MUSCLE ANATOMY: How to avoid side effects & maximise Botox efficiency [Aesthetics Mastery Show]

Botulinum toxin treatments in the upper face are a real 'bread and butter' treatment in most aesthetic clinicians' practice, but are you familiar enough with the anatomy to avoid side effects, whilst also maximising product efficiency?
In this week's Aesthetics Mastery Show, Dr Tim takes us on an anatomical tour of the key muscles injected for upper-third Botox treatments, including the frontalis, corrugator, depressor supercilii, procerus, and orbicularis oculi.
He shares why you should avoid paint-by-number injection techniques; the anatomy you need to know in order to avoid eyelid ptoses; how to get procerus toxin doses right; key tips if you struggle to locate muscles in the first place; and the answer to the crucial question of whether you can treat the frontalis without also injecting the corrugator.
Dr Tim even shares a little-known tip to improve rhinoplasty results and longevity...using Botox.

I can’t believe this information is free. This is shit I would actually pay for!

[@deborahlaird5718]

Love how you go in-depth with the pro's and con's and you give excellent narrative on each subject - thank you and I will be watching all your video's

[@jacquelinethomasson3599]

I love how Tim uses analogies which make absolute sense and his teaching techniques are amazing! Very informative!

[@kimberlykelly7317]

You are both are incredibly helpful! This reel was so informative. It is a gift to educate and instruct via videos and you and your wife are amazingly good at it! Your suggestion to feel the vector of the corrugator muscle was the key for understanding muscles of the face. it just connected everything for me THANK YOU!

[@cateoconnor933]

So glad you brought up the powerful and less-powerful procerus muscles. I would inject it with the "normal" amounts and then I started to realize: some patients don't even have anything there! What a great reminder. Thank you!

[@alekjfisher]

Thank you for pointing out the small but very important depressor supercilii muscle, I had been receiving a heavy dose in my medial corrugators and would always come away still feeling tension in the inner corners of my brow and didn’t know why - until I learned it was the depressor supercili that needed to be treated more specifically and superficially. Once I added that injection site I noticed an immediate and obvious improvement and lift in my inner brows and now I look and feel more serene and less angry!! Very valuable info in this video!

[@francescasharif1436]

i have watched this video so many times over the last few months! i just love how you both discuss each subject

Herpes is a common infection/condition, affecting about 1 in 4 American adults. Hsv1 & Hsv2 are the common types of Herpes virus and if untreated, they can get unbearable and cause severe medical issues.

Your videos have been extremely helpful for me in starting my journey in the aesthetic world. You mentioned the side effect in some patients of worsening wrinkles below the eyes after injecting the crows feet. I am wondering if you recommend anything to correct this when it does occur?

Wow Miranda, September the 16th... that’s almost 5 months. I am thankful that I hardly have forehead and 11 lines. I have mild crow feet and some bunny lines... I requested a conservative amount of botox done... 8 units each side for crow feet and 2 units each side for bunny lines and wo laaa two days later all is so much better....loving it. 🙏😇

[@mirandapearcemindset]

I'm so pleased you're loving it. Botox really is a miracle worker! Mine's been gone for a couple of weeks :-( I tend to get 3-4 months out of the treatment :-) Enjoy yours!

[@Dandelion_flight]

@@mirandapearcemindset Yes ☺️💕

[@heathermoultrup1168]

Great video!! Thank you! Where does one get the free dl about injection points?

[@PatHaskell]

Good info, thanks for posting! It seems like it takes an extreme amount of effort for her to speak.

[@wiamhaddani]

thank s

[@Dandelion_flight]

I am back watching this that came up my feed. Do you think facial exercises like those face yogis do, will neutralize the effects of Botox faster? Do you think facial exercises will be effective in helping the face stay firm like how body exercises help firm and tone our body muscles? Would be keen to know your thoughts.

[@Ali_Mu7ammad]

Good work thanks

[@jmarie8828]

Dr. Tim excellent vid! I found myself shouting “EXACTLY!” over and over! I also liked and downloaded the attach because I’m always interested in others techniques or way about things as this is definitely somewhat of an art form and there is no simple “cookie cutter” method. I for one, over the years have clearly adjusted the injection method on myself as I’ve gotten older - when I was younger I could fully freeze up my frontalis to a shine (lol) without too much concern (as I always did the glabella as well) however nowadays I find that I’ll at most do a micro dose or “sprinkle” of frontalis after getting rid of those nasty 11’s (or “resting bitch face”) Everyone’s anatomy is different which is an extremely important thing you pointed out, I’m much stronger on my right than my left, I also don’t have very (lengthy) corrugators so tend to do 5 points between the procerus and corrugators and on the lateral point go a bit lower dose. I love that your video really focused on what works for one, works for ONE and is also something that is constantly evolving as we unfortunately age. I’d also be curious to learn your dilution preferences. Oh, one last thing.... really great advice on administering in “stages” 100% great advice! I know how long I personally take to “kick in” I’m quick, so I can generally tell how things are shaping up and prefer to go back and top off or touch up a bit here or there over the next couple weeks. As they say, “you can’t unring a bell”. Well in this case I guess you can but it just takes a while..... Cheers!
